We argue that the term “Comprehensive cancer centre” is not consistent with patient centered care and health equity. A “Comprehensive cancer network” reflects modern networked systems.

This is a symptom of toxic system culture where a flawed co- design methodology was adopted by the wrong people. Wrong people=wrong program=multiple amendments. So fix the system culture.

Sabe Sabesan Great letter Sabe, a network is a much better model for delivering the best care possible, to as many people as possible, as close to home as possible.

Great debate to raise awareness of the need for networked and collaborative cancer care system.

Thanks Ray for the opportunity your team has given to Townsville Cancer Centre to be part of this trial.

Congratulations Lisa. Sign does look cool.

Congratulations Mei. Great recognition of your work on equitable cancer care.

With only about 10% or less natural leaders, all the values and purpose need to be instilled by design. First step could be to implement team framework/ checklists to build teams. What we have now is a variety of pyramids- collection of individuals led by scapegoats.

Touching story of Dr Lynham’s family. In a country like ours, everyone should have access to clinical trials. More money and one stop shop aren’t the answers. This requires cultural reform of the whole sector. Who is in charge BTW? abc.net.au/news/2025-04-1…

Now available! 📒 The Updated COSA Guidelines for the Psychosocial Management of Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) Diagnosed with Cancer. Very proud to have contributed to this Guideline by leading the update of the Post-Acute Psychosocial Care, and the Uncertainties

One of the take home messages from this paper is that all trials, including early phase clinical trials, can use telehealth to improve access/equity, acceptability to participants and recruitment metrics.. #DCT #oncology #DEI #clinicaltrials rdcu.be/epQ1y

This ASCO study along with Canadian and Australian experience should make DCTs including teletrials routine business within global trial sector. linkedin.com/posts/american…

Health equity is a culture issue; not just money or geography issue. Thanks International cancer coalition for taking this on. bloombergneweconomy.com/news/global-on…
